There’s a specific dish called “chili Mac”

and chili dogs, chili burgers, chili nachos.....Now that I think about it, what are some ways you all use chili with other foods to create new dishes? I'm always looking for new ideas of what to do with excess chili besides just eating it from the bowl.

A good drunk snack is chili mixed with queso or cream cheese.

You know, if it's late at night, buzzed and you'd like to consume something you'll regret in the morning. But man is it delicious when you're eating it.

If you have not had the pleasure, do yourself a favor..... In Colorado and New mexico, it's served stand alone but also smothering burritos and Tamales, and Rellenos etc. I love Red Chili, but Green is so good, and so spicy!
